What we are building next
Today, we tell you who represents you. Next, we tell you everything else.
Type in your state, your LGA and your ward, and we show you your governor, your senator, your rep, your chairman and your councillor. That’s the floor. Here’s what’s coming, in the order we’re building it.

“Who is on my ballot, and what have they actually done?”
Election season is loud. Posters on every pole, convoys at 7am, crowds that were paid to show up. Ask ten people in Aba who’s running for their state assembly seat next February and you’ll get ten blank faces; ask what that person did the last time they held office and the silence gets longer.
Every party already has a page here: its leaders, its office address, the states it governs. Some of you can already see the races on your own ballot. The candidates themselves are the gap, and so is a simple way to browse them.
Right now we have a photograph for one presidential candidate and no governorship candidates at all. If you want to look at the people you might vote for in January, there’s no clear place to start.
The machine is built. What it needs now is names, faces, and a front door.
- One page that lists every election we’re tracking: presidential, governorship, assembly. Open to anyone, whatever state you’re in.
- Pick a year and see every party’s campaign side by side.
- Tap a party and see its full slate; who it’s fielding in your state, and everywhere else.
- Open a candidate and their record comes with them: offices held, party history, and what our budget and corruption data already says about them.
- Put two candidates in the same race next to each other and compare them plainly.
“Who is supposed to protect me, and how do I reach them?”
Say your shop in Onitsha gets broken into at 2am. You need the nearest station, the DPO who runs it, and the person above that DPO if nobody picks up. Most people can’t name any of the three, and finding out takes days of asking around.
- Your state: the Commissioner of Police, the state PPRO and the Area Commanders, with names, offices and working numbers.
- Your LGA: every division that covers it and the DPO who heads each one.
- Your ward: the stations near you, where they sit, and the numbers that ring.
- Listed from most senior down to nearest, so you always know who to escalate to.
- The same chain on every state, LGA and ward page you already use.
So we’re building the security chain the same way we built the political one: from the top of your state down to the division that actually covers your street.
A chain you can walk up when the person below you won’t help.
“What is actually in my ward?”
Right now a ward is a name and a councillor. People don’t live in wards, though; they live in communities (ask anyone in Ikorodu where they’re from and you’ll hear a street or a town, never a ward number). What makes a community liveable is plain enough: a clinic that opens, a school that exists, and some way of knowing whether either is actually there.
We’re going one layer below the ward, then filling that layer with the public facilities that are supposed to serve it. Public only. If your family pays for a private hospital or a private school, that’s a market; what we’re auditing is what the state promised you for free.
A ward with three schools on paper and one standing building is a story. You can’t tell it until you have both numbers.

Your actual town or village, by name
The clinic and school serving it
- Find your community by its name, the one you’d actually say out loud.
- Every public hospital, health centre and clinic serving it, plus the total for your whole LGA.
- Every public school: primary, secondary, and the universities in your state.
- Compare your LGA with the one next door. Same population, half the clinics? Now you can prove it.
This one needs you
No government file lists every community in Nigeria. There are 8,807 wards, and the people who know what’s inside them are the people who live there.
When this opens you’ll be able to add your own community, your clinic and your school, the same way people already add missing photos and phone numbers for their representatives today.
“What law is about to change my life?”
Bills that reshape whole industries pass with almost nobody outside Abuja knowing they existed. The hearings are public; the National Assembly streams them live. A six-hour stream that nobody watches still leaves you in the dark.
- Every bill tracked as it moves, with what it does written in plain language.
- Who proposed it and who’s backing it, attached to the same profiles you already browse.
- Hearings from the National Assembly channels, transcribed and summarised so you can read one in five minutes.
- If a bill hits your LGA, it shows up on your LGA page.
- Follow a bill and we tell you every time it moves, until it passes or dies.
We’ll read those hearings so you don’t have to, then tell the people a bill actually affects that it’s coming.
A bill about mining should reach the LGAs with mines in them while there’s still time to say something.
“Who runs power, roads and schools, and where did the money go?”
This is where we started, and it’s the part we never stop working on. We hold more than 700 budget documents and 891,000 government payment records, and you can already ask questions about them in plain English or Pidgin.
The human layer on top is the gap: the ministries that spend the money, the people who run them, and the road from the federal purse down to your local government.
- Every ministry that touches daily life (power, works, education, health, agriculture), what it’s responsible for and who heads it.
- How to reach each one, and what it currently says it’s working on.
- The money followed from federal to state to local government, at every step.
- What your LGA received, and what actually got built.
Already working
None of this starts from zero.
The map underneath is already built and already public. Everything above is a new layer on ground that’s already there.

The honest part
Figures as of 24 August 2026
Where you come in
Of the 2,847 officials we track, fewer than one in seven has a photograph, and the profiles behind those names are barely filled in. Two in every three are a name and nothing else. Almost nine in ten have no email, no phone number and no office address; you can find the right person and still have no way to reach them. Exactly one official in the whole database has a complete profile.
We can’t fix that from a laptop in one city. There are 774 local governments and four of us.
So the fastest way any of this gets finished is you. There’s one thing you can help with today, and it’s the biggest gap on the list: identifying the public officials in your area. If you know your councillor’s face, your chairman’s office or a working number for your rep, you can add it today; other people vote it up or down before it goes live.
Mapping the infrastructure (your community, your nearest station, the clinic, the school) opens next and works the same way. Officials first, because that’s what’s built.
